She was approached to chair the , committee before the 106 match and watched that area of the Bruce match with great interest. - • In October 1976, the committee, made up of 'Joale "CdPripbelT,' Seaforth; borinhy Coultes, Belgrave; Shirley McAllister, Zurich; Betty Cardiff, Brussels; and Susan VVheatly, Seaforth, met. .Thirty thousand programs for ladies' program Activities will, be printed, Mrs. Armstrong said. hut this may not take care of all the visitors to the exhibits. The• committee expects "half of the, people who,corrie to the plowing match 'to come through,our area", Mrs. Armstrong said. About '250,000 are expected at the Sept. 26 to 30 match. Anyone, Who has gone through the ladies" exhibits in ast plowing matches and thinks this one wi I be the same, IS in for a surprise,, Mr's .Armstrong said, because "each yea, the whole thing is different'.'. One of the .things that fall under the committee's jurisdiction is the ordering and. sales of ipm '78 souvenirs. The committee has plowing match charms, pens, mugs, trays, frisbees, and T-shirts. It Won't just be committee members staffing the three main areas of ladies' program activity, Mrs. Armstrong said. Women's Institute groups will provide about 12 helpers each day and there will be: scores of volunteers helping to provide information and enjoyment for the 125,000 expected at the ladies' exhibits.

All sorts of questions flashed through our minds. Was it just our imaginations? Was it, a two-legged or four-legged intruder? Could' it be a woodchuck going home? Could we be lying over his hole? Were there any bears in the area? Why were our weapons, a knife and a hammer, packed in the car tights, and on five of the at a time like this? six nights, it rained: If rain We drifted in ancliout of didn't chase us inside, mosquitoes did. • I re- member three girls hud- dled in .a six-foot square tent. I remember the night our flashlight died. On the same night I bumped into the centre pole of the tent and held my breath as it jiggled but stayed up right. I recall, bouncing off an air matress onto a rock. We hadn't cleared the campsite aswell as we thought. I also remember waking up in a soggy sleeping bag and wcridering whether I'd ever 1 sleep for the rest of the night without hearing another sound. Dawn was a long time coming. I remember clearly the taste of weiners and 'beans and charred toast. I also recall the sight of. outlast three potatoes turning into - coals among the flames. ' Of course, not all my memories are unpleasant curs. The food tasted bet- ter b,ecause, it was 'cooked outside, even if it was , burned. And pfedicaments, Snell as jamming a sleeping bag zipper and trying to sleep . beside a railway track, sent us into fits of laughter.

The building will house 40 to 50 crafts people who Will display tticir, ,yares`, and will feature ,quilts madq by Huron County residents competing in the plowing match quilting contest. The ladies' committee organized the competition., which, i§.„, for the best ,quilt depicting the nature of1PM '78. Judging of the quilfg takes place at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food office in Clinton Septa 18. so the winning quilts will already have been selected by the time they are on display at the match, Mrs. Armstrong said. One of the big tents will be set aside for fashion shows, with a seating capacity of 500 to 600, Mrs. Armstrong said. Men"s.'women" and children's fashions from clothing stores thrOughdut Huron County and even outside the county will be featured. The. tent will house cooking demon- strations. by marketing boards, and hair- styling workshops and an afternoon exercise class. The other tent contains horticultural exhibits- and seminars on care of cacti, tropical plants, showing dried flowers and live flowers and man other topics of interest, to all gardeners. . It will be the first time. the IPM ladies' „program committee has had a horticultural 'tent, Mrs.' Armstrong sayS. Horticultural dsplays "were :incorporated with . other Paul McKellar has been a doodler as long as his family can remember, .,.., But tmlike many people who are amateur artists when they have time to kill while', visiting on the telephone, McKellar _has, turned his doodling into a fulltime profession. • This month, a combination story- ,- coloring book titled Meet Elmer The Hillbilly Mouse, has appeared on the shelves. of Toronto Stores. In Seaforth, the book E available at A and F Boutique, the store operated by Paul's, mother. Elmer, a happy little mouse with two large buck teeth and a friend called Willy the worm, isn't a recent creation of the artists's. When McKellar was' still in public school, he started writing p?ems about the mouse. Two of his prizewinning efforts were published in The Huron Expositor. ' Although the artist has never taken formal' lessons, other than a ,short correspondence course, he's now working for a Toronto publishing house, doing the art work for books and designs for business' pards%published by the company. • While still in Seaforth, McKellar designed the business cards used. by MacLean's Flowers and the menu for Wong's Restaurant. Until last year, Paul worked at Bendix Home Systems Ltd. in Hensall. but then he decided to pursue his artwork on a fulltime basis. . Mrs. Ferg McKellar, the artists's mother, said her son has a second book, called Elmer The Mouse Finds Christmas, ready to go to press for the Christmas market. Now that McKellar's first book; with an' initial run of 1,000 copies is on ,the market, the artist is sending copies of the book to a number of American stores, hoping to try and interest them in ordering the book on a large scale. Mrs. McKellar • said a number Of autographed copies of the book have already been sold to friend's her son worked with at Bendix. Although the artist was offered a, price for the franchise for the books in the United States, he 'has decided to wait and try and market the books himself. If the books prove a success, the artist has someone who's interested in making a -}cartoon movie about the. character. , In his spare time, when he's not drawing, McKellar makes the wooden candle holders and plaques on display in his mother's craft store. Although Paul McKellar is starting off in a small way with his McKellar Fantasies publications, he's obviously hoping Elmer the mouse will mark' the start of a new career.
